Coach E and Coach O have made it clear that LSU will implement a spread style, pass-heavy offense.

Yet,everyone knows that SEC contenders must offer tough running capabilities, or you end up like Sumlin's Aggie's.

The programs who seem to have blended such throwing and running, say 50-50,are possibly the Briles-brand at Baylor, or what OU and USC have traditionally run.

Question: Which recent program to you think is most similar to what Coach E seems to be describing and hoping to successfully implement?

List what you think that will look like, whether one of these three, or whether another program.

LSU 2016 with a few more RPOs and worse Runningbacks.

We haven’t visited with any team who runs an Air Raid, or any variation of what Briles was running. We have visited the saints and the Seahawks and other pro teams.

“Spreading it out” doesn’t mean we’re running a spread, and we all saw pheavy sets in the spring game. We’re running a multiple offense.

What? No they haven’t. Everything I’ve seen from Orgeron is he wants to be 50-50.

If you’re expecting our offense to look anything like Baylor or OU you are going to be REALLY disappointed.

Look at Clemson '97-'98 and TAMU '94-'96 on youtube. Take that and mix it with some USC of 2000-06. That's what I'm expecting.

Not sure you read what was stated or the question.

"Spreading it out" means we're spreading the ball around on offense. For instance, in 2WR 2TE 1 HB sets we'll use all 5 eligible receivers (Miles had low TE passing production).

Hopefully Clemson. A scheme that can make average RBs look good. Some RPOs here, some screens there, some play action. This keeps defenses honest.

Yeah not really. Well actually I think that may be one of the 900 different things we’ve been told. Well have a far better idea in about a month about what the offense actually will be.

Well they did spend a day with Sean Payton, so I’m guessing the 2011 Saints

Would someone offer an analog to a current college program to illustrate a successful program that we can expect to resemble?

I would say to watch how Auburn uses Stidham.

What I'm understanding is we will literally spread our formation out--not that we won't also have heavy sets, too, like in the spring game. Also, we'll spread the ball around to more than just one or two receivers, and on a variety of routes; get our TE's involved in passing consistently; and throw to RB's out of the backfield more. This is attainable when you throw the ball more often, which is where we're getting the "pass-heavy" description.

That is to say, we'll literally spread our formation out, AND we'll spread the ball to more than just our two biggest playmakers, seeing as we potential have a number of them now, and they'll be almost all receivers. Now that we should have a QB whose strength is actually throwing accurately on a consistent basis, I kind of expect it to look a little like the Saints: spread the ball to the open player (not chunking it up to the hot route and hoping for the best) or checking down smartly, having 4 and 5 receiver sets, going in bunch sets, using your RB's in the passing game more, and using your passing game to run the ball in a more innovative way.
